BY LIZA STROUT - A curious mix of Scottish Wolfhound, Dalmatian and an unknown form of shepherd, Easy was once a favorite of the Seventh Street dog park and owned human Dick Robb for a time. These days, Easy lives in North Carolina, with Reka Korrosy.

One day this winter, Easy became a true hero.

It was a fun-filled week of Earth Day activities for The Island School kids.

One day the kids split into groups to cover cleaning up the grounds of the Boca Grande Community Center and the beach, one day they held a peaceful Earth Day demonstration through town ... they even ate dirt and worms for dessert at the after-school program!

On Monday, April 22 island residents filled the Boca Grande Community Center auditorium and donned some pretty funky glasses to view a presentation by Bob Zeller called “The Civil War in 3-D.” Zeller is the president of the Center for Civil War Photography, and is one of the country’s leading authorities on the imagery of the Civil War. It was part of Civil War Reflections week, sponsored by the Friends of the Boca Grande Community Center.

To the Editor:

A “Bon Voyage” progress report for my many island community friends. It is a bit long, my apologies.
